Melinda Coles
Dear Melinda,
How happy you must be to know your wrongdoings have been forgiven. Whatever it was that you were so ashamed of,
has been completely forgotten.
We had noticed you were not feeling well (perhaps it was
your groaning). Knowing it was a guilty heart that was making
you feverish, now makes sense.
We heard you praying (at least we saw your lips moving) in worship services during The
Confession. And then, it was you
that cried out “Forgive me, O Comforter,
for the times I have sinned in my thoughts, my words, my deeds.”
Several
of us had told you that in times of distress, the power of God’s presence would surround
you.
Remember
when we told you not to be a stubborn mule insisting on going your own way – all
those needless heartaches!
We
trusted that our steadfast love in the Lord surrounded you and now we shout for joy to see
God’s mercy .
Love,
Your
Westminster Friends
Prayer: O God, it is hard to admit our sins and our failures
to do what is right. But when
we confess,“he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1
John 1:9) Amen.
Daily Challenge: Confess your transgressions to the Lord. (Psalm 32:5)
